and desres?'
Yes, think so, - he replied.
She had fed the last chicken by this
time, and was standing talking TO him
with the empty basket in her hand.
What do you wish for in this life,
Bonnie DOOM he asked.
Il have not begun to think about it."
she said. Il am waiting for my life to
begin"
1t seemed as though the wind caught
the words and carried them away, gave
them to the great, green trees, to the
flowers, to the birds, words that were
pathetic in their simplicity-that were
prophetic.
Il am waiting for my life TO begin"
How many of MS have stood so waiting
on the shores of the sea of life? Wait
ingl not knowing what life would bring!
Hoping, longing with vague, sweet de-
sireS for which we had no words.
So Bonnie Doom waited. but the spell
was upon her-her fate was fOreshad-
owed; the thorn was growing with the
rose for her.
Il am afraid" he said, THAT have
tired you; how selfish men are; have
been talking all about myself all this
time"
II am very glad, " she said. "Do you
know Mr.. st. John, after all you have
told me, feel as though / had known
you all my life"

your voice in the cleaning. and you
sing very sweet, old-faShiOned songs

to me, you will not"
II cannot, - she replied.
why? Tell me why2n and his voice
sank to that soft, caressing tone that
seemed to her sWeeter than any other
sound on earth. Tell me why?h
The beautiful eyes fell. the beautiful
face dropped from his; lovely crimson
flush rose, even to the roots of the gold
en-brown hair"
II cannot even tell you the reason
she said. Can YOU not guess it?'
rs it," he asked. gently, because
yOu are shyp-iust little afraid of me?"
yes" she muImured; that is it.
"YOu need never fear me-" he whis-
pered; everything you do is we'll done
IN my eyes. You please no one in the
world 50 perfectly as YOU please me-
He took her hand and bent over it; he
was going to kiss it but it did not please
him so well as the lovely flushed face;
he kissed the wnitr brow. and with that.
the first kiss that she had ever received,
her heart went out to him for ever.
Eric st. JOHN had been five weeks at
the farm then. and he had fallen in love
without knowing 1T. insenSibly the
fair, simple girl had wound herself
round the very tendrils Of his heart. He
was not a bad man; he never had the re-
putatiOn of being either fast or reckless
over women; indeed. women had but
little share in his life.
He was engaged to marry Lady May
Carleton, the orphan heiress of the late
Earl of ROsetOwn. and he had chosen
her from a world full of women, because
she was well-bOrn, wealthy. highly con-
nected, and was the very wife for an
ambitious man to choose, There had
been no question of love. Love was not
one of the things that he had consider
ed as essential in life.
1t was the most suitable marriage he
could possibly make. His uncle, Sill
Arnold Wynstay, was delighted over it.
his friends all congratulated him. He
would, perhaps, hardly have thought OF
the Lady May, but she had shown such
a decided preference for him. He was
flattered by it, and quite willing.
There was nothing whatever displeas,
ing in Lady May. Had she been plain
proud, or cross, he might have hesitat.

very practical: there was no nonsense

liked Lady Nav: no one in particular

CHAPTER ".

"Why does your father call you Bon
ME Doom? 1t is avery pretty name, but
what does it mean2' and Eric st. John,
who is smoking cigar as he leans over
the fence and watches Ruth feed a tribe
of fiuttering pretty little chickens, looks,
despite his illness, very handsome.
She smiled at him over the little fluffy
heads.
You know the song, 'Ye banks and
braes Of Bonnie Doon?n she said. MY
father thinks that no one in the world
sings it so well as do, and when he is
pleased he calls me Bonnie Doom"
ut suits you exactly said the critic,
''simply because it is unlike every other
name, and you are unlike everyone
else
She blushed at the words, and found
some difficulty in making little chick

swered, quickly. you do not know,

lie had nothing to do just then, and
he did not see why he should not amuse
himself with this dainty, delicate young
beauty. 1t seemed to him that he had
discovered her in the southern farm
house just as one finds new and rare
flower in some unexpected place.
There are many things" he cOntin-
ued, THAT YOU bave not the fainteSt

things, and want very often"
He smiled at the simplicity of her an

what Paradise this is for flowers"
said Eric st. John.
"You have no flowers like these in
London" said Ruth, with the calm
superiority of one who knows that the
fact cannot be cOntroverted.

not grow there. The finest flowers in
England are sent to London. | believer"
Il pity those poor tlOweTs!" she said.
I'VE have a neighbOr living over the
hills there who cultivates flowers for the
London market,-lilacs and violets,
migRonette, lilies and roses. He gath
ers them in the early morning while the
dew lies quite wet upon them, and sends
them away. They are packed in great
hampers of cool moss, and sent by train.

tinued; sit is that they live and can

MANY people have that fancy" he re-
piled.
Il know it is absurd continued
Ruth; but if see people throw flow

When they are cut from trees the same;
l have never thrown even dead flower
into the fire in my life"
Eric laughed, but the beautiful eyes
wpr1 full of tender wisdom, and the
sweet face was full of serious wonder.

she said, and he thought what con-
trast her life presented to his-spent
amongst books.
"Will you teach me some of the many
pretty secrets you must know?' he ask
ed
Yes" she replied, gravely; IF you
wish to learn"
Il do wish to learn" ne said. "There
comes a time in every mans life when
he tires of the artificial and longs for
the natural, and that time has come
for me now"
Il am very glad of it, says the beauti-
full Ruth. with an air of sweet. grave
wisdom that charms him; and Eric st.
John promises himself that he shall talk
to her soon again.

Changers Picnic at Aglionby's
Grove.

Owing to the rainNand threatening
state of the weather, the turnout was
not as large as would have been the
case had the day been fair on Friday,
the 9th inst, but there were several
hundred, perhaps, from different
parts of the county and several prom
inent Changers from Berkeley. For
instance, the Chairman of the State
Executive Committee Mr.. Cushwa),
who is ready to furnish Deputy to
put the dormant oranges of Jefferson
on their feet again. An old charter
can be revived by paying up one
quarters dues, and new location
may be selected by getting dispen-
sation for that purpose. The time
was improved by V. NJ. Firor, Esq, of
Charlestown, before dinner, at the re-
quest of the parties in charge, in
short address, advising reorganiza-
ton and cooperation for the general
good, after which two main cloths
were spread and bountiful dinner
was served, whilst the persons in the
numerous carriages uncovered their
NCll UllSu DhShGGS. AlGCl iCpstoo ohS
speaker of the occasion, the Hon.
Mortimer Whitehead, of New Jersey,
Lecturer of the National Grange, was
introduced by Chas. H. Knott, ESQ.,,
in few appropriate sentences. The
lecturer is fluent orator, and very
soon rivets his hearers in spell-bound
silence. Mr.. Whitehead, himself a
practical agriculturist, knows just
what farmers are and what they need
to make all classes of community
prosperous and happy. He proved
conclusively the need of agricultural
cooperation, and showed the selfish
ness which prompted the action of
trickey politicians in catering to pred
judice at the expense of justice and
right. He reviewed the accomplish
mcnt of what the grange had achieved
and what it is now doing, but the two
most interesting subjects discussed
were the false butter Legislation by
Congress, and the sale of large tracts
of land to foreigners, who are tenent-
ing the lands with crown-bound sub
jects. He also took exceptions to the
proposed reduction of the tariff on raw
material, and the protection on man.
ufactured commodities. He wants
equality by reduction on all.

eral miles from Bcrryville, had his
leg and arm badly cut by the circular
saw while it was in motion.
Mr.. ID. f. Clark, who has been in
charge of the railroad office at this
place for several years, was suspend
cd without any reasons given therefor
by the General Superintendent of the
S. V. r. r. Mr.. J. w. Barringer is
now in charge of the office.
The executive board of the South
crn Methodist camp held a meeting
on Saturday last and determined to
begin their camp-meeting on the 18th
of August upon the same grounds
they occupied last year, situated
about half mile from Vaudeville.
Mr.. Geo. C. Thomas, proprietor of
the Phoenix Carriage Works, has
built handsome wagonettc for Mr..
G. +. Galloway, of Warrenton, and

four cushioned cross-seats, capable
of holding eight persons, and was
forwarded to Warrcnton on Tuesday.
The other has cushioned side-seats,
is handsomely painted, and both sus-
tain the well known reputation of the
Phoenix Carriage Works. We are
glad TO learn that Mr.. Thomas has

foreman of the same, which position
he held for several years. After
leaving Bcrryville he worked in Bal
timore and New York, and while in
the latter city he was attacked with
hemorrhagcs. A renewal of these
attacks during the last four months
resulted fatally, at the time above
stated. He passed from earth into
the Beyond, welcoming the peace
and comfort he realized.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Shcpherdstown Register says:

In the course of a conversation
with higl, official of the Treasury
Department few days ago, he mem
toned the fact that Mr.. j. c. Holmes,
of your county, who is superintendent
of repairs of public buildings, was
giving the most abundant proof of his
ability as first-class workman by the
way in which he was acQuitting him
self in the discharge of his arduous
duties. lie said that in the matter of
estimates for repairs Mr.. Holmes was
an adept, for they came out to the
